Sports-related concussions are an increasing public health issue with much concern about the possible long-term decrements in cognitive function and quality of life that may occur in athletes. The measurement of cognitive function is a common component of concussion management protocols due to cognitive impairments that occur after sustaining a concussion; however, the tools that are often used may not be sensitive enough to expose long term problems with cognitive function. The current paper is a brief review, which suggests that measuring cognitive processing through the use of event related potentials (ERPs) may provide a more sensitive assessment of cognitive function, as shown through recent research showing concussion history to influence ERPs components. The potential influence of genetics on cognitive function and ERPs components will also be discussed in relation to future concussion management.
与运动相关的脑震荡是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题，人们非常关注运动员可能出现的认知功能和生活质量的长期下降。由于脑震荡后会出现认知障碍，认知功能的测量是脑震荡管理方案的一个常见组成部分；然而，常用的工具可能不够敏感，无法发现认知功能的长期问题。本文是一篇简要综述，表明通过使用事件相关电位（ERP）来测量认知加工可能会提供对认知功能更敏感的评估，最近的研究表明脑震荡史会影响ERP成分就证明了这一点。还将讨论基因对认知功能和ERP成分的潜在影响，以及与未来脑震荡管理的关系。
